Voting in Ohariu-Belmont

Peter Dunne is the MP for Ohariu-Belmont. Has been for more than 20 years. In 2005, Heather Roy also stood for the electorate, missed out and got into Parliament through the coat-tails of Rodney Hide. In 2008 she changed electorates but as of today three other candidates who contested the electorate in 2008 are in Parliament. They are Charles Chauvel, Katrina Shanks, who won the party vote in the electorate, - and now new Green Party MP Gareth Hughes. Should Roy contest Ohariu-Belmont in 2011, and Hide was to win his seat, the eight candidates standing for Ohariu-Belmont would have a 50 percent chance of becoming a MP, purely due to where they were placed on the party list.

The "ordinary New Zealander"

The term "ordinary New Zealander" has been used a bit by Labour politicians lately. Phil Goff has been using it for years. It reminds me when National was using the term "mainstream" New Zealanders, except Don Brash said that excluded homosexuals.

Goff has not defined what an ordinary New Zealander is. I assume it includes Maori, homosexuals and Michael Laws. Probably doesn't include Hine Elder or Clayton Weatherston. But it may well include the Exclusive Brethren leaders.

There are two classes of ordinary New Zealanders. Those who Labour thinks need state assistance and those who don't. Those who do are referred to by Goff as ordinary low and middle income New Zealanders.

Ordinary New Zealanders, according to Goff, are those who pay ACC levies and gets less and less in return. This week, Goff implies that the relationship between Labour and Ratana is working for the ordinary person, and expects Labour to be forming policy for ordinary New Zealanders. He says "I expect our people to be out there working hard on behalf of ordinary New Zealanders, doing their job as spokespeople and starting to develop their policy alternatives."

At Ratana, Goff said

Too often ordinary working families have to carry the burden for others who do not pay their taxes and meet their responsibilities

Perhaps Goff was thinking of those of us who can save, who are well off -but put money in trusts and get more WFF payments, while those who can't save rely on the WFF payments as their incomes are too low.

And again today, Goff said.

Labour would be working hard "alongside ordinary New Zealanders" to ensure they would get their fair share out of the recovery and the likely tax changes

So what is an ordinary New Zealander?

For Ruth Dyson ordinary New Zealanders are overweight people who should be getting funding for stomach stapling operations.

However, National has a different view of what is an " ordinary New Zealander'

“For ordinary New Zealanders, we’re particularly keen to ensure that our tax system rewards effort, encourages savings and helps families to get ahead.

I wonder what proportion of ordinary New Zealanders have enough income (after paying taxes the mortgage and bills) to actually save. Perhaps the kind of ordinary New Zealanders that vote National, put their savings into a trust and collect Labour's WFF payments that are targeted at ordinary low and middle income New Zealanders.

Ratana wants four Labour list seats

In the 1940's the Ratana Church had four seats in parliament. All we aligned to Labour, all were Maori seats, all its representatives joined the Labor caucus. Most of them didn't do much, a bit like some of the unionists that have got list seats in recent years. Some, like Matiu Rata, joined Labour and became more effective.

Now that the Maori Party has most of the Maori seats, the church knows it cannot win most of the Maori seats: to do so would mean it would have more Maori seats than the Maori Party. It knows it can't get any Maori seats off Labour. So the church has publicly asked Labour for four safe list seats to be aligned to Labour in parliament. The Maori Party has never had a list seat. If the Catholic or Presbyterian Church made such a request, they'd be laughed at.

It was a strange request, particularly as Ratana Church Minister Joe Everett earlier told John Key "In the short time that you have been in power you've done so much more than what others have done for the ... Maori people."

Ratana should take its support elsewhere. Most if it already is.Its current leader supports Labour but many of those in the church, particularly the younger ones, support the Maori Party.

Phil Goff's Ratana speech is here Ratana is no longer relevant as a political force.

Three strikes law

I have one of my answers on the three strikes law if professor Greg Newbold is correct.

An offender who committed two assaults and a murder - in that order - would be locked up for life, because the maximum sentence for murder was life imprisonment.

But the new law would mean that someone who committed murder and then two assaults would only serve the maximum penalty for assault, a sentence length that varies depending on the attack and not a life sentence.

If you're doing life without parole, why wouldn't you kill a prison officer? What's to stop you? What would you lose by killing a prison officer?"

If this is correct, the message for criminals is this: Make sure you do your worst crimes first. The message for prison guards is this: be wary of those who do their crimes in the other order.

The Herald has also said that this law is backed up by empirical evidence from the US which found that homicide rates increased in cities with "three strikes" laws when compared with those without such laws. Yet in some of these states, these "strikes" are for minor offences, like shoplifting, quite different to what is being proposed here.

Aamir Khan Profile

Famous for his outstanding performances and one-movie-at- a-time attitude, Amir Hussain Khan, lovingly called AK, is undoubtedly one of the best actors in the hindi film industry.

Born on the 14th of march 1965, Aamir is the son of producer Tahir Hussain and

Zeenat Hussain. He has 2 brothers, Faizal and Hyder ali Khan and two sisters ,Nikhat and Farhad.

Not many know that Aamir has done quite a few films as child artists such as Yaadon Ki Baraat, and Madhosh. But it was not until Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988),directed by his cousin Mansoor khan, that actually got this actor huge success.

Though aamir had the priviledge of being born in a noted family, his struggle in bollywood was no less than a new comer. He worked hard on his acting abilities and gradually went up to be a superstar of the 1990’s.

With films like Dil, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Rangeela and Raja Hindustani, there was just no lookin back, for Aamir. Films of every kind kept falling in his lap which gave him a golden opportunity to prove his versatility.

Initially Aamir did a lot of light comedy and romantic flicks. He totally succeeded in winning the hearts of every viewer and gave unforgettable performances in Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, Andaz Apna Apna, Ghulam, Ishq and Mann. But very soon this image was overtaken by the serious characters he played in Sarfarosh (1999), Earth(!998), Fanaa (2006) and Rang De Basanti(2006)

Today Aamir does films that are aesthetically different, offbeat and critically acclaimed. He is one actor who has shown every character onscreen with equal zeal and reality. His character of Akaash in Dil Chahta Hai is of a happy-go-lucky young boy who takes life easily and stays away from girls. The audiences have adored Aamir in almost every role he has ever played.

In his career of 15 long years, Aamir is now all set to go behind the camera. His 1st production Lagaan, was released in 2001. This film redefined film making to the core with a relatively unconditional theme. It was a period film and was also nominated to the Oscars.

Aamir has various shades to his life, film and career. He keeps private and doesn’t believe in most of the film awards. He was different from the other stars right from the beginning and he has been able to retain this freshness even today!

kareena kapoor Profile

Belonging to the legendary family of filmstars, Kareena is the forth generation of Kapoors to have made a splash into films. With veteran actors like Prithviraj Kapoor and Raj Kapoor as her forefathers, Kareena had to face high levels of expectations from the very beginning.

Lovingly called Bebo, she was born in Mumbai to famous acting couple Babita and Randhir Kapoor on 21st September, 1980. Her elder sister is the very well known actress Karisma Kapoor, who is now married. In her early childhood days, her parents splitted.

Kareena had always wanted to stay away from the glam and glitz of showbiz. She was inclined to pursue law but destiny had other plans for her. She got the priviledge of debuting opposite Abhishek Bachchan in J.P. Dutta’s “Refugee” in 2000. Though the film flopped, Kareena was noticed as Karisma’s younger sis.

Confidence never went loose with Kareena as she was now determined to prove that acting ran through her veins. She was focused that she didn’t want to begin with “masala movies” like her sister had. She wanted good scripts with her roles to be meaningful and substantial. Luckily for her, she got good offers and things finally fell in place.

Initially, many of her films like “Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai”, “Yaadein” and “Asoka” and did not stir the box office. But Kareena had emerged as a very talented and beautiful actress. Kareena wanted her image to be of a good heroine and not just a star. So she was more careful in choosing her films.

Acting as a prostitute for the first time in “Chameli”, Kareena swept the audience and the critics off their feet. She was greatly appreciated for her acting and now people were taking this determined girl, seriously.

Films like Fida Aitraaz, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum and 36 China Town, took Kareena’s career to greater heights. she had now established herself as a successful and very talented actress.

This 5’5” blue eyed damsel is presently dating Pankaj KApoor’s son, Shahid Kapoor. Though she shies from the media, we know that she loves reading books, swimming and watching old movies. Kareena has a long road full of opportunities stretched out before her. Its for her to take full advantage of it and prove her true caliber.

katrina kaif Profile

She doesn’t believe in wearing minimum clothes or getting a sex symbol tag to her name. All she looks for is good work and greater success. The British Indian with loads of talent and beauty, is here to sweep you off your feet with her straightforward attitude. She is Katrina Kaif.

All of 23 and brimming with confidence, Katrina was born to an NRI father and a British mother in July 1984. She is one of the 8 siblings, all girls. Her father was originally from Kashmir. Having spent most of her childhood away from India, she never really had the chance to know the culture or the language of our country. Thus, initially she was called “A silent beauty” for she could not communicate well in Hindi.

Katrina was a model in London and as soon as she came to India for an ad campaign, she was flooded with offers. Professionally she started off as a model in India with Atul Kasbekar, renowned photographer. She did some important ad campaigns like LG, Lakme, Veet, Fevicol, L’oreal and Samsung.

Her expressive face and an hour glass figure were her assests. She snapped her 1st film offer from Kaizad Gustad for “Boom”. Though her inability to speak Hindi was a drawback, she was not demotivated. She was flooded with South Indian film offers. She did a few films in Telegu and became the highest paid debutant in the south by charging 70 lakhs per film.

Katrina has not done much films so to say but whatever little work she has done, there has been a progressive improvement in terms of her acting, accent and expressions. She can now speak Hindi too. Her films include Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya, Humko Deewana Kar Gaye and the very recent Namaste London.

It has been a small yet meaningful journey for Katrina. Her long time boyfriend Salman Khna dotes on her beauty and achievement. Not many know that she has an inborn talent for painting as well. With a superb figure, flawless complexion and an improved acting style, she is sure to go places.

Shahrukh Khan Profile

He is the hottest selling property of Bollywood, the Ace of Spades, Baadshah of the hearts of Bollywood fan and the King Khan. He was born on November 2 1965, and he didn’t have any famous Bollywood links to land him a role in films. He is one of those rare gems of Bollywood who had to toil and work very hard to climb each step and reach the top most position of Bollywood which he has the privilege of holding today.

Khan attended St. Columba's School where he was accomplished in sports, drama and academics. He won the Sword of Honour, an annual award bequeathed to the student who embodies most the spirit of the school. He later attended the Hansraj College (1985-1988) to earn an Honors degree in Economics. After this, he studied for a Masters Degree in Mass Communications at Jamia Millia Islamia University. As a child he was exposed to the world of drama and theatres and had also acted in Ram Leelas.

He started his acting career in 1988 by appearing in the television series Fauji playing the role of Commando Abhimanyu Rai. He then played a minor role in the serial Circus in 1989, which depicted the life of circus performers. Shahrukh started his career in Bollywood with Deewana which was a blockbuster hit and launched him successfully as an actor. Today Shahrukh has one of the best portfolios of movie comprising of almost all the variety of roles ranging from a vengeful murderous son (Baazigar), a crazy villainous lover (Darr), a exemplary lover (Dil Wale Dulhaniya Le Jaayeng) to a comic protagonist (Baadshah). His claim as the best Bollywood actor also earned him the privilege to play the role of Devdas in its remake and compare himself with the likes of Dilip Kumar.

Shahrukh married his only love Gauri Khan in 1991, but it was not easy for him to get her as Gauri’s parents were dead against their marriage abd Shahrukh had to go through hell to finally get Gauri’s hand for marriage. They have a son born to them in 1997 named Aryan.

Recently Shahrukh was in the limelight for hosting the popular game show Kaun Banega Crorepati on Star Plus. His future projects include much awaited films like Khan, Hey Baby, Dhoom -3, Don – 2 etc.

Emraan Hashmi Profile

The chocolate boy of Bollywood, Emraan Hashmi was born on 24th March 1979  in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India into a Muslim family. His birth name was Emran Anwar Hashmi which he later changed to Farhan Hashmi, but again reverted back to his original name with an extra ‘a’ in Emraan based on numerology beliefs. Nicknamed Emmi, Emraan is a carismatic, talented, attractive, sweet and full of emotions which he can express it very well on screen.

Emraan’s Bollywood links comes from his uncle Mahesh Bhatt and cousin Pooja Bhatt. he started his career with his uncle’s film Footpath which unfortunately shared the same fate as its name and didn’t do well at all at the box office. His claim to fame was Murder released in 2004 where he starred opposite to the Bollywood’s bomb shell Mallika Sherawat. The duo rocked the silver screen with their sizzling kiss scenes which remained the hot topic of discussion and the centre of many controversies for a long time.

Emraan earned the nickname of ‘Serialkisser’ based on the fashionable word serial-killer after he kissed his way to fame with Tumsa Nahi Dekha (2004), Zeher (2005), Aashiq Banaya Aapne (2005) etc. All these movies were full of contentious scenes which had by then became an Emraan Hashmi trademark.

His reputation as an on screen hunk also raised a lot of questions on his acting talents. Critics were consistently commenting on his acting skills and he became a battering ram for them. Amisha Patel once said – “I don’t think Emraan can act”, but his fans and producers seem to think otherwise and he kept on signing movies after movies and his fans kept on liking them.

His recent releases include Dil Diya Hai, Good Boy Bad Boy and Train which made its premier at the IIFA awards. Emraan also has signed for lots of movies for future releases and is now looking forward to shedding his old image and doing some serious roles as he has now gotten bored of seeing himself kiss on screen.

Hrithik Roshan Profile

The Roshan family has been ruling the silver screen for quite some time, but perhaps no one has reached the heights of success as the green eyed boy Hrithik Roshan. Born to father Rakesh and mother Pinky Roshan on 10th January, 1974, Hrithik has the perfect combination of good looks, great body, awesome dance skills and acting talents. He is Bollywood’s Sylvester Stallone, Bratt Pitt and Michael Jackson rolled into one. He has two thumbs on his right hand grown together.

Hrithik made his debut as an actor in 2000, with the release of Kaho Na Pyar Hai. It has been referred to as one of the greatest debuts Bollywood has ever seen. Mass hysteria that followed the release of the film was called Hrithikmania and has been unprecedented. Hrithik received over 30000 marriage proposals from young girls all over the country on Valentines Day. Lots of young girls were reported fleeing their homes running to Mumbai to catch a glimpse of their heartthrob. The hysteria calmed down a bit when Hrithik was married to Sussain Khan on December 20, 2000 at Bangalore, India. The marriage broke many hearts.

Hrithik is also quite hard working and a perfectionist which comes across in his expressions and dance steps. He says he is not that great a dancer, but he practices his steps over and over again until he perfects them. There was a phase in his career where he went through a really bad patch and most of his films flopped badly, but, his hard work and perseverance kept the flame alive. Though his films didn’t do well, Hrithik himself seldom received a bad review on his performance. Films like ‘Fiza’, ‘Mission Kashmir’ and ‘Yaadein’ might not have been successful at the box office, but his acting talents were quite appreciated.

In 2001, Hrithik was stuck in a real big controversy when a rumor alleging him making disparaging remarks about Nepal and its people caused outrage in the country. Several newspapers carried the report, leading to protests both in India and Nepal. Later the Indian embassy and the actor himself clarified that he had made no such remarks.

Some of Hrithiks unforgettable performances include – Fiza, Lakshya, Koi… Mil Gaya, Dhoom 2, Krrish etc. his forthcoming films include Delhi 6, Dhoom 3, Jodha Akbar etc. all of them are big budget films with high audience expectations.

Ajay Devgan Profile

Ajay Devgan

The son of ace-master Veeru Devgan, Ajay was exposed to films from a very early age. He used to accompany his father to the sets and was very watchful from the beginning. But no one could ever imagine that Ajay would grow up to reach tremendous stardom.

Ajay, previously named Vishal, was born in Mumbai on April 2, 1967. His brother Anil Devgan is a film director in Bollywood. He began with the hit film “Phool Aur Kaante” opposite new comer Madhu Malini. Quite different from the others who join the industry without being noticed in the first few films, Ajay was not just noticed, he was appreciated by many, and awarded the best debutant for this film in 1991.
It marked a remarkable upward journey of a star-to-be. Soon after his first film, Ajay was loaded with offers. He did a no. of good films like Jigar(1992), Shaktiman(1993) Vijaypath(1994), Dilwale(1994) and Hulchul(1995). All the films portrayed Ajay as an action hero. But Ajay proved himself much more capable than just action and stunts.
Films like Ishq, Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, Dil Kya Kare and Major Saab, showed everyone that Ajay could portray comedy and romance with equal ability. It was when Ajay was working with actress Kajol in Ishq and Hulchul, that they realized they were in love with each other. Soon they tied the knot. They now have a daughter named, Nyasa.
There was no scarcity for work for an actor like Ajay. He was already a star. But a landmark film in his career was, “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam” opposite Aishwarya Rai. It was an emotional love triangle and a superhit film, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
In more recent years, Ajay has done few yet quality films. Films like “The Legend Of Bhagat Singh”, Raincoat, Kaal and Apaharan all show different character portrayals of him. Ajay has definitely grown up in terms of his acting and as a person.
News is that Ajay will now go behind the camera and dawn the role of director. His forthcoming films are Sholay, London Dreams and his directional debut film U Me Aur Hum. This is one actor who believes that variety is the spice of life..

Meet Zarine Khan - Salman’s new discovery

Zarine Khan had been kept under wraps throughout the making of ‘Veer’, but with the film about to release, more and more is coming of Zarine. It has been known that Zarine was put on a chocolate diet for months to give her a fuller look for the role of Princess Yashodhara in the movie where Salman Khan plays the warrior Prince Veer. Zarine piled on eight kilos in just three months.

When asked, Zarine says that acting was not something which she was very keen on. She says, “I always aspired to be a doctor but financial constraints didn’t let me pursue my dreams. Fate had something else in store for me and I ended up signing small modeling assignments. I didn’t even in my wildest dreams thought I would become an actor. “

She further adds, “However being an actress, I think now I can accomplish my other pursuit of becoming a doctor as well.”

Three strikes is back

Simon Power is the Minister of Justice and is fronting the sentencing and Parole reform bill. Today, three Ministers - Rodney Hide, John Key and Judith Collins - announced that the government had reached agreement on a three-strikes policy that will ensure the worst repeat criminals receive the maximum allowable sentence.

So why didn't Simon Power contribute to making that announcement, given that this agreement is going to be incorporated into his bill?

The three strikes aspect to the bill means repeat serious offenders get the maximum allowable sentence, meaning more people will be behind bars for longer. I`m not sure what exactly counts as a strike, in terms of sentencing - what if your third strike was an historic crime done before your first strike? What if your second strike was overturned and your are in jail for your third strike -does your sentence get reduced, or do you get compensation? I'm not allowed to have a say on that at select committee as I didn't do a submission to the initial bill.

The two Ministers of the Maori Party are unhappy and have introduced a new term that should get wide usage: "hide-bound". The party says the proposed 'three strikes legislation shows the government is hide-bound by political rhetoric on crime and punishment that has no factual basis.

The problem with the process of these changes is that only the people who have made submissions to the select committee on this bill will be given the opportunity to make submissions on this new aspect of the bill, a limited subset of "the public" as stated in the government's media release.

Given that National's confidence and supply agreement with Act meant that Acts "three strikes " policy was to get a fair hearing at select committee, perhaps these latest proposals should have been in the original bill before submissions were called for.

The select committee is due to report in March.

REED v STEWART EPIC?

'Reed - Stewart rivalry reaches epic status.'

The rivalry between dual World Supercross champion Chad Reed and reigning champion James Stewart reached boiling point today, with the two clashing heavily during the second round of the 2010 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series which was held at Chase Field in Phoenix.
Both Reed and his nemesis were back in the pack at the start of the 20 lap race and followed each other through the early laps. On lap five of race Reed put a pass on Stewart going into a right hand corner and the two collided, leaving Reed with a suspected broken bone in his hand.
Tempers flared following the race but Reed acknowledged his focus is now is on having his hand assessed ahead of next weekend’s third round of the series. 
“We were racing hard and we were racing for a championship where every point counts, as we saw at the end of last season,” Reed explained.
“James went high and I saw an opportunity to pass and took it and we came together end of story. The main focus for me right now is to seek medical advice and understand what sort of injury my hand has sustained.
“That’s got to be the priority right now then once I know where I am at I will take a little time to reflect on what happened,” he added.
The third instalment of the 2010 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series will see the series head back to Anaheim’s Angel Stadium on Saturday 23rd January.

A GOOD BADD REPORT

By Jos Mason.
What a scorcher of a day!
BADD supporters came from all over including Tauranga, New Plymouth and Napier to assist Salvation Army’s food banks, and peruse at leisure, some dramatic racing from NZ’s best, up and coming and club level riders alike at the inaugural BADD 3-Hour Endurance Race.
And lest we forget, our Aussie entrants, which saw Robbie Phillis unfortunately withdraw in the fortnight prior; Paul Gaskin and Joel Reed!

This year attracted a remarkable full grid – 32 teams plus reserves, with many entrants from last year’s 3-Hour coming back for another go at the title.

The word ‘Endurance’ describes many competitors this year. Particularly those who raced the previous day at the legendary Wanganui Cemetary Circuit for points, and  facing the following day’s points racing - the final of the Tri-series.

 Andrew Stroud 7x NZ Superbike champ who would go on to become the Tri-Series F1 winner, joined us for the 3-Hour, alongside team-mates, Kevin Kingham and Greg Dodunski.
A  young man on the move - Glen Skachill; last year’s 3-Hour winner, with frantic repairs from Wanganui’s Cemetary Circuit crash and some challenging pit stops, saw Glen and teammate, Sam Smith fly into 6th place. And then the following day, going on to win the F2 class of the Tri-Series.

Jeremy Holmes and Hayden Fitzgerald saw the Honda Team finish in the same place as ‘08 - 2nd Place.
The Biggles/Wiggles combo – Marcus Beagley and Mark Wigley came in fourth up from 6th place in last year’s 3-Hour.

Sandra Stannova showed the boys how do it, along with teammate Adrian Cox coming in 5th place.
Fantastic to see our first ladies team entered - Susan Ure, Tamasin Beattie. Go the Girls, awesome effort!
Superman Micheal Pera completed the final 20 minutes with cracked ribs.
Sadly Fred Merkels team race ended early with a DNF!

The accolade of course goes to Mr Sloan Frost, who submitted his entry on the day, for “a bit of practice” for the Final Round of the Tri-Series coming in first place, not only for the coveted ‘Superman’ trophy, but, also the overall title win.

Sloan completed 105 laps in 2 hours 57m10.38, with fastest lap time of 1m33.48

”I entered the race 10 minutes before the start. I figured it would be good to get a bit of track time before R3 of the Tri Series, so I thought I’d just ride till I got tired.
I came in for my first pit stop, but forgot that I didn’t have a pit crew!
I actually pulled in after 2hrs and told my dad I’d had enough because I was bored, then he told me I was actually winning, so I did another few laps. I didn’t really know what place I was; until I saw the chequered flag come out for me. STOKED!”

Following the 3-Hour Race there was a ‘podium finish’ prize giving, complete with B.A.D.D Girls and Moet, a fantastic BBQ meal and band for the Riders Reunion and Competitors.
Free camping was put to good use over two nights.
Congratulations to all competitors, and a big thank you for another day’s dramatic and legendary racing.
On a final note a quote from this year’s fourth place winner Marcus Beagley “I expect this event to become bigger and bigger!”
Many thanks to those who donated funds to the BADD Charity for this year’s upcoming projects and to those that donated food items to Salvation Army Food bank.
Thanks to NZSRA and the BADD_3-Hour Organisers – Chris Lawrance and Andy Scrivener.
Thanks to the Ralliests from Tauranga, New Plymouth and Napier who joined us.
Thanks Also to Sponsors and Supporters Suzuki NZ, Hauraki FM, Kiwiracer, Kiwirider, Bayride Motorcycles Tauranga, Novus Mount Maunganui, Go Fast Nutritional Drink, Design Booth, C1webdesigns, BADD Team, including the BADD Girls and AutoCycle Refinishers Tauranga.

SUZUKI 1-2-3-4-5 AT RUAPUNA

Hamilton's Andrew Stroud is off to a flying start.
The Waikato father-of-seven qualified his Suzuki GSX-R1000 in pole position at the opening round of this year's New Zealand Superbike Championships in
Christchurch at the weekend and then raced his way to a two-point lead over fellow Waikato Suzuki rider Sloan Frost at the top of the superbike standings.
In fact, the whole weekend was a Suzuki bun-fight with the brand eventually claiming all five top spots in the superbike rankings -- Stroud followed by Frost,
Christchurch's James Smith in third, Auckland's Ray Clee in fourth and defending champion Robbie Bugden, of Australia, taking the No.5 spot.
It was a major disappointment for Bugden, who had come from Brisbane with his sights set on making it four Kiwi superbike crowns in a row. Bugden won Sunday's first superbike race but then crashed out of race two.
Stroud had been forced to settle for fourth place in race one but was in superb form in race two, shooting out to a commanding lead and eventually winning it by nearly 16 seconds from Frost.
That race win also gave Stroud the New Zealand Superbike GP title.
"The pack seemed half a lap behind me," said Stroud afterwards. "I guess you could say the weekend worked out good for me.
"I struggled a bit in the first race and it took me a while to work out how much traction I could find on the wet surface.
"It all turned back in my favour in race two though. There were still wet patches on the track but the new Pirelli tyres are brilliant and I was able to go hard straight away."
Frost finished 3-2 to take second overall for the day, while Smith's 2-4 placing gave him the third step on the superbike podium.
Frost was thrilled to record his career best result at a national superbike championship round.
"I got held up in traffic in race two," he explained. "By the time I got past Ray Clee, Andrew Stroud was long gone. I'm pretty pleased with my day though."
It also turned out to be a Suzuki scrap in the formula three class with defending champion Glen Williams, of Palmerston North, eventually edging out evergreen Taranaki campaigner Terry Fitzgerald by just two points for the top spot.
Williams (Suzuki SV650) finished 1-1-4 and Fitzgerald (Suzuki SV650) came home 3-2-1 in the three races.
There's also little to separate Suzuki riders Geoff Booth, Jason Cameron and James Hoogenboezem at the top of the 650 Pro Twins class.
Dannevirke's Booth took his Suzuki SV650 to 2-2-1 placing, while Kaiapoi's Cameron (Suzuki SV650) finished 1-1-4 and Christchurch's Hoogenboezem (Suzuki SV650) was placed 3-3-2 in the three outings.
There are just 13 points between these three riders at the top and closer racing is likely when they head to round two of the series at Invercargill's Teretonga circuit this coming weekend.

RACE FOR THE TITLE HEATS UP

by Andy McGechan
Even a bone-jarring crash could not derail Bay of Plenty’s Ben Townley at the third round of four in this season’s New Zealand Supercross Championships in Tokoroa on Saturday night.
The Tauranga man, still on the comeback from a shoulder injury suffered in America in 2007, remains on target to take his first New Zealand title in nearly 10 years after another scintillating display on the race track, this time at a Tokoroa track made treacherous by persistent drizzle.
The 25-year-old former world motocross champion and US supercross champion crashed heavily while leading the night’s first of three open class races.
He picked himself up to limp home in ninth place and then, with a rapid-fire format in place for the Tokoroa event, he had no time to rest as he was obliged to head straight back to the starting grid for race two.
Despite showing signs of wear from the crash, Townley took his Kawasaki KX450F to the lead from the start and never looked back, clocking up an impressive win.
He repeated the dose for the third and final race that followed immediately after that.
Townley’s 9-1-1 results meant Townley finished the night an unaccustomed third overall, behind Mount Maunganui pair Cody Cooper (Suzuki) and Mason Phillips (Kawasaki), but it was still enough for him to extend his lead in the championship chase to 26 points over his nearest threat, Christchurch Honda rider Justin McDonald.
“I was feeling awesome on the bike. It just gets better and better every time I ride,” said Townley.
“The crash was just one of those things really. A piece of a trackside barrier was sticking out, my foot-peg clipped it and down I went.
“Considering the circumstances (with the crash), I am happy to still finish the night on the podium. In damp and slippery conditions like this, you just have to take what you can."
While most attention was focussed on Townley, there was no denying the incredible pace of fellow Kiwi international Cooper, who, despite having to brave a painful knee injury following his crash at round one, won the night in Tokoroa with 1-3-2 results and leapt from fourth to third equal in the championship standings.
"The way things have been going for me lately, I have to say I'm surprised I won the night. I was sick at round one and then crashed and hurt my knee. Then I got only second placings at round two … but now I've got an overall win to celebrate.
"I struggled a bit tonight because my sore knee has no strength in it. It's all swelled up. I'll just have to see what I can manage at the final round next weekend in Auckland."
The Senior Lites (250cc) class belonged to defending champion Scott Columb (Suzuki), the Queenstown man finishing 2-1-1 on the night to edge out dual-class campaigner Phillips – who took his Kawasaki to 1-2-2 finishes.
Taupo’s Brad Groombridge (Suzuki) was third best on the night and also remains third in the championship standings.
Rangiora’s McGoldrick brothers, Isaiah and Micah, continue to lead the two junior classes.
Isaiah McGoldrick (KTM) won the junior 250cc class at Tokoroa and created a 16-point buffer over nearest challenger Tom Managh (Suzuki), of Wanganui.
Micah McGoldrick topped the podium in the Junior Lites (85cc) class at Tokoroa and stretched his advantage to 21 points over Feilding’s Haki Waller (Kawasaki).
The racing will go down to the wire with the fourth and final round set for Manukau City this coming Saturday night, the land beside the TelstraClear Events Centre turned into a floodlit moonscape for a thrilling climax to the championship.

Leading standings after round three of the New Zealand Supercross Championships at Tokoroa on Saturday night:

Senior open:
1. Ben Townley (Tauranga) 162 points;
2. Justin McDonald (Christchurch) 136;
3= Mason Phillips (Mount Maunganui) 135;
3= Cody Cooper (Mount Maunganui) 135

Senior lites:
1. Scott Columb (Queenstown) 165 points;
2. Mason Phillips (Mount Maunganui) 156;
3. Brad Groombridge (Taupo) 132.

Junior 250cc:
1. Isaiah McGoldrick (Rangiora) 157 points;
2. Tom Managh (Wanganui) 141;
3. Brandon Tipene (Auckland) 125.

Junior lites:
1. Micah McGoldrick (Rangiora) 172 points;
2. Haki Waller (Feilding) 151;
3. Scott Sowry (Pahiatua) 130.

Making a police complaint: Safer communities together.

I attempted to make a minor complaint to the police today. I don't often complain. I can't think of a time when I last did.

So I looked at the police website to see how to make a complaint. It said to ring or go to your nearest police station. Nobody was at my nearest police station so I rang another one. They said I had to go and make a complaint and speak to a person in a certain section of the police in person. When I informed this young boy that he was in the section that he told me to go and see, he said, I still had to come down, even though the police website said I could make a complaint over the phone.. He then asked if anyone's life was in danger. I then said that I didn't think anyone's life was in danger (actually it is near impossible for anyone's life to be in danger for such a complaint) and I asked why the question was asked, and if that would make a difference as to whether I could lay a complaint.He said " Well the Mungrel (sic) Mob could be after him or something".

After that response, I wondered why I bothered to try and make the complaint in the first place. Next time I'll ring the Mongrel Mob.

Quote of the week

Labour MP Kelvin Davis, commenting about Hone Harawira's comments about raping and pillaging of land, and his purported views that a repeal of the Foreshore and Seabed legislation will assist in solving problems.

We are generally dumber, sicker, poorer, more pissed, drugged and pregnant than any other group of people in New Zealand. We know the problem, but what's the solution? Well let's repeal the Foreshore and Seabed and put the F&S into Maori title. We can be dumber, sicker, poorer, more pissed, drugged and pregnant at the beach. That'll make all the difference.

Has the Herald on Sunday breached name suppression?

Just got back from a week offline, and am still catching up with the news slowly. But from reading the Dom Post while I was away I learned that Cameron Slater ( who is extremely happy that he had 54,000 unique page views on his blog the other day) has been posting, in binary code on his blog, the name of a former MP who is up on charges of indecently assaulting a 13-year-old girl.

Now, I don't know much about binary code, so I quickly found out by other means who this person was, and then saw an article in the Herald from Carolyne Meng-Yee, who loves to write about celebrities - and I`d be surprised if she understands most of the laws surrounding suppression. From that article I could narrow this man's name down to two possibilities. He is a former MP, has a partner, he is not the father of the girl, and is a " thoroughly decent bloke". The girl's mother is this former MP's partner. But it was another sentence in that article that narrowed it down somewhat for me.

The Herald On Sunday has arguably published information that has led to the identity of the alleged offender, as it led with the man's former occupation with the implication that he has links to more than one political party. The article is also in a more accessible form than Slater's. In addition, another article on the same website the same week provided another piece to the jigsaw, which narrowed it down to one.

If a blogger provides clues that breach name suppression on one post, is that any worse than an online newspaper doing the same thing, but on different articles on different days? Particularly if both articles are available on the one page. Whatever, even if Slater posts clues to the multiple people who have suppression, as he has done, the Solicitor -General has said that he is not in contempt of court.

John Key has waded into the debate saying that Slater is not allowed to break a law he disagrees with. But the PM himself has advocated that it is fine to break the law if you want to smack your kids, whether you agree with the law or not.

BUBBA WINS ANAHEIM AMA SX OPENER

The opening round of the 2010 AMA Supercross/FIM SX World Championship at the Angel Stadium, Anaheim in Los Angeles on Saturday Jan 09 was won in fine style by defending champion L and M San Manuel's James Stewart. The Floridian gave the new Yamaha YZ450F its first victory in a major series.

The 51st supercross race in Anaheim and the first of three visits in the 2010 schedule saw a tense beginning to the current campaign that runs almost every week across the US and into Canada until the beginning of May. Stewart was dominant in practice and took first pick in the gate for Saturday's main event that was attended by more than 43,000 people. James Stewart
The 24-year-old started in second place and hunted the rear wheel of rookie Ryan Dungey for 17 of the 20 laps before making his play for the lead in the closing stages. He crossed the line for his seventh win in Los Angeles by nearly four seconds from Dungey with Kevin Windham over thirty seconds adrift in third. Stewart's arch-rival, Chad Reed, retired on the second lap after a collision left him with broken wheel spokes.
"The first few laps, I was trying to settle in and see where everything was, checking out the bike and everything was cool, but I messed up a rhythm section and then he [Dungey] got a pretty good gap," Stewart recalled. "I looked up and it was like lap 13, so I had to put in another charge. I felt like I had a lot left in the tank and I was able to catch him, pass him, and then he ended up trying to pass me back, but I was able to hold him off until the end of the last lap and win the race."
"I feel like my endurance is really good, and that's what I really work for hard every week. I felt way better at lap 17 than I did at the beginning."
"It's going to be a long season," he added. "Unfortunately, Chad DNF-ed tonight, so there were a lot of crazy things going on but I'm happy to be out of here with a win and the points lead." Josh Hill
Stewart's success could start another Anaheim 'clean sweep' for Yamaha as the champion claimed two events last year and Joe Gibbs Racing's Josh Grant was another victor. Grant on this occasion did not start the Main Event after feeling the ill-effects of a practice crash on Tuesday before the meeting.

Name suppression blogger back from court

Cameron Slater is feeling pretty pleased with himself. Just after Christmas he told me that he got 20,000 hits on his blog on Christmas Day - just after he got served with the summons. Today he was in court as he was alleged to have broken name suppression on his blog. He was always going to defend the charges, and he`ll be doing that on 14 January. An interesting part of his defence appears to be that the Law Commission has recommended that the sections that Slater is to be charged with should be repealed.

Some have commented on the recent high-profile name suppressions with reference to the Entertainer (who is a musician), the Comedian, who is not very funny and appeared in court the same day as Slater on sex charges; and the Olympian, who Slater identified on his blog.

So the Blogger is in court on the same day as the Comedian, for veiled attempts to out the Entertainer and the Olympian, but did not out the Comedian, who is not really a comedian at all. The Entertainer is actually a Musician, and the Olympian is a well known Criminal. But now the Entertainer is also a well -known as a Criminal, being the Musician that the Blogger has identified. Now the Blogger may well end up fined, but not for outing the Comedian, but for outing the other two who are convicted Criminals. So the only two who are not convicted Criminals to date are the very two people who appeared in court the same day: the Blogger and the Comedian he did not identify.

CHARLETT OFF TO A FLYING START

Dennis Charlett is off to a flying start for 2010.

Two days into the New Year and the Christchurch racer is still celebrating the arrival of a new decade after winning five races from seven starts at the 16th annual Port Nelson Street Races on Saturday.
Charlett took his Suzuki GSX-R600 to finish 3-1-1 in his three formula one outings and then also wrapped up the formula two-class, coming home 2-1-1.
The Canterbury ace then also wrapped up the 12-lap King of the Port feature race.
Runner-up was fellow Christchurch racer Daniel Ornsby, on a Triumph 675, while another Christchurch rider, Chris Alley, came third on his Suzuki GSX-R1000.
"I'd never raced on this circuit before, so I guess I'd have to say I'm pretty pleased to come here and win," Charlett said.
"It's good to get a win or two under my belt ahead of the nationals … it's certainly a confidence-builder," said the 41-year-old.
Charlett has every right to feel confident, with such a solid set of wins under his wheels with the Castrol Power 1 New Zealand Superbike Championships set to kick off near his Christchurch home, at Ruapuna Raceway, in just two weeks' time, on January 17.
"We're on track for the nationals and just need to get suspension settings right now for the new tyres I'm using this year. I'll be using Continental rubber this season.
"I'm not quite polished yet but I'm getting closer and closer each time I ride."
"I think riders such as (fellow Christchurch man) James Smith (Suzuki), Wellington's Glen Skachill (Suzuki) and Tauranga's Sam Love (Yamaha) will be my biggest threat for the 600 sports production crown this season."
Charlett's title bid last season was fraught with bad luck early on but, even so, he managed to claw his way back to finish fourth in the class.
Meanwhile, Motueka's Josh Coppins was another rider to impress at the Port Nelson Street Races.
Grand Prix motocross star Coppins took a Suzuki RM-Z450 to an unbeaten string of wins in the Super Motard SM2 class (for 450cc bikes) and then backed that up by finishing a strong third overall in the SM1 (open) class, behind Wanganui Suzuki rider Jayden Carrick and Taranaki's Mitch Rowe (Yamaha).

Was Foster even entitled to an advance?

Graham Foster's story in the Sunday Star Timesdoesn't tell the full story. He was refused a Work and Income grant to pay for a $50 pullover and a $140 pair of shoes. Instead he got an advance for the amount which he has to pay back at $3.00 per week. Any advances are supposed to be paid back within a 52 week period. But not this one. Still, Foster spent two years fighting the government through the courts, costing the taxpayer tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees.

The Benefit Review Committee decision of 2008 appears to be here, and was itself appealed. (The Court of Appeal's recent decision is here). Foster wanted a lump sum non recoverable payment and reviewed a decision to advance the payment. His excuse for applying for these items was that his old jersey had a hole in it and as he sometimes suffered from mild bronchitis he didn't want to catch a chill. He said he needed to wear specially constructed inner soles and good quality shoes and he said he needed to purchase Hush Puppy shoes " that better fitted the odd contours of my feet".

His budget indicated a deficiency of income over expenditure of $49.98 per week - and budgeted more than $87 a week on food . That's in 2008. We have four in our family and don't even spend double that each week. He also brought the Listener each week instead of reading it at the library for free. Although he wanted free shoes, the Social Security Appeal Authority noted that there is no specific provision in the Special Needs Grant programme for shoes. As Foster admitted that the items were needed due to to wear and tear, this was not an "emergency" as it was not unforseen. Clothes are expected to wear out, eventually. The authority said:

We are surprised to note that the appellant spends [$30 - inserted] per week on communication, apparently for cellphone, internet and fixed line charges. This seems particularly high for someone sharing accommodation. The appellant has not explained what his need for a cellphone might be. An allowance of $15.00 per week ought to be sufficient for telecommunications. We also have questions about the appellant's allowance for transport, optometrist and newspapers. It is surprising that the appellant can afford to buy the Listener and pay for an internet connection but cannot budget for [shoes]. We are not convinced that the appellant has a deficiency in his budget of $49.98 per week. We accept that the appellant's budget is tight but we consider that the appellant could have been expected to make provision for [shoes] in his budget.We are not satisfied on the basis of the evidence available that an emergency situation existed in this instance

But they did think it was fine for him to get an advance payment, even though he was able to make provision for it. In other words, the Committee considered that as Foster had an "immediate and essential need" he should be given a loan for the shoes and jersey, even though no emergency situation existed, and WINZ had no idea if he needed them because they apparently didn't ask if he had other jerseys and shoes he could wear.

So how did they know that Foster had an immediate and essential need?
